Anyone getting a constant obstical avoidence alert when flying???

[hidaven]

Not only am I getting warnings but the craft refuses to fly forward?? Any thoughts? Sensor recal.??

The following could be causing the problem:

• The sensors could be covered with the protective stickers applied before DJI ships them out
• The sensors could be dirty
• Something you attached to your Mavic could be blocking the sensors
• You're flying directly into sunlight

If none of those things apply, then try calibrating the sensors via the DJI Assistant 2 app -- like this:

I don't have any proof, but I was flying on a windy day and had the obstacle avoidance alarms going off.

The proof is on the glued in microSD card, you can use the DJI assistant to see if OA was triggerred at altitude

The sun sets mine off a lot, a little annoying when I am flying a Map Pilot mission.

Flying in Mexico a few days ago over the ocean at sunset. It was twilight time. On my way back to home to end my flight I had three episodes of obstacle avoidance. I was at about 90 feet over an open bay flying in a southwest direction. It was weird. Initially thought there may have a bird cross in front but could not identify anything like that. The plane was about 200 feet from me so I could easily see it hold up and stop. Sun was behind a hill at time so that can not be the explanation. Is this similar to what you guys have seen.

sun set and light reflection off of the waves. Mavic was probably high enough that the sun was effecting it.

I had a similar situation because ocean mist covered OA lenses. Cleaned them with microfiber, no problem.
